I dvr programs I intend to watch. In the course of the last week there was only one show on WTMJ that was skipped. While I have no love for TWC, it is WTMJ that in my opinion has the most to lose. Other than Packer pre-season games, I don't see a big uproar. In the meantime viewership goes down, and proportionally, so does the ad rate.

You're failing to see the huge consequences to TWC., who will be losing their customers in droves due to TWC's inability to be fair in their negotiations. Those customers have other options, and don't think they won't be seeking them out.

coffee, TWC is looking out for their customers by trying to keep their rates low. JB is rumored to be asking for a pennies per day increase, even if it is one cent that is a $0.30 per month increase for the TV service. If TWC accepted this type of increase from all the channels they offer a 100 channel package would increase in cost by $30 per month. JB would have you believe that a penny per day is insignificant but it is a significant increase. Also, TMJ4 is one of the worse network stations, if they gave this type of increase to TMJ4, just imagine what CBS, ABC, and FOX would be asking for given they actually have programs worth watching.

Another day, and another 2 blogs/articles on TWC v. JCI negotiations. I see a new banner ad promoting TMJ4's Packer preseason coverage too. Content is key, and it is apparent to this reader, that the value of the content the local readers/viewers is not equal to the value TMJ4/ JCI thinks they are worth. Content either local or national network is king, and right now, there is little value of content on NBC or TMJ4. If JCI wants to end this, take the money they are getting, and move on.
